Somehow we still face the exact same issues today, but the two biggest issues are: violence and lack of social programs.

You hit it right on the head but white people keep talking about social (izing) as if it's a bad word some people won't act on them.

Sister. That's because the system is working the way it was intended. Our ancestors were brought here to build the country and when the agriculture advanced they "FREED" us but they really wanted to get rid of us. So they built jails.

I was a 10/11 year old when this film was made. Thank goodness we had programs in the late 60s and 70s which kept us employed in the summer and after school jobs. Here it is 2020 and not much has changed. There’s a package store on every corner where they can medicate their brains and the cycle goes on and on. I thank God and my mom that I as a black man did not fall into that trap. My son’s mom and I taught my son to be a hard worker and I stayed on his case about choosing the right direction in life. I think having me, his dad overseeing his life growing up helped him to be the man he is. He has no kids and single and at 36 being a good man and doing for himself. My dad wasn’t there helping to raise us but his little visits here and there was minor for me and my siblings so thank God and my mom for keeping us on track.

I like how you didnt reference her as your baby's mother. You must have great respect and even reverse(lol) for her. Great job in selecting a mate.

Kinda shows you WHAT they've ONLY seen us as good for....definitely NOT gainfully employed in their work ranks. And NOW even if you DO got a job...the money is so low in value now that you gotta work extra hours on the REGULAR to be able to hit "Even" as you did 20 years ago at the end of the week. Hey black people..its finna be a 400yr "anniversary" in about 5 months. It's amazing that we'd STILL "trust" in such a system 400yrs later.

Yes that’s is the limitation right now. The channel feels like an extension of the work I did curating monthly screenings in Philadelphia for 15 years. The technology allows the curation to reach people but commenting is not really conversation. Thanks for watching. Happy Easter

My dad grew up in St Louis and would have been about 7 years old when this was made. But this is when happen when we as a people are ignorant of our own history, so many black Americans didn’t know any better and accepted their position as normal and poverty cycle continued into the next generation.

It has been 54 years since this was filmed, so I wonder what is the answer for us now? Do we have a future to look forward to in this country, or should we leave here? I can't stand the thought of us wasting another generation going through the same social problems that have plagued us from generation to generation--that would be totally unacceptable!

Myth. Nothing bad has ever happened in St. Louis. I'm from Oakland and we never had one single homicide, no unemployment, no robereries and no police injustice .My neighbors were the tooth fairy and Santa Clause, and once a week it would rain candy canes and cup cakes out of the sky. With that said: Never even drive through that city without a gun.

Much more work to do still, many neutral and discriminatory policies, labor laws, and regulations that restrict racial equity. Start by addressing the freedoms that were stripped form ethnics, equal housing, right to work, union membership, tolerable taxation, addressing those and returning the system to an equal, race neutral system that does not unjustly enrich one race, one type of people over the other. Discrimination is a huge issue, not only inside the US, but outside of it. Many counties have recognized the discrimination in the us markets, China condemns the continuing discrimination of its people in the states, Mexico condemns policing for profit system used at the border and on its citizens in the states, and many ethnic Americans feel restricted or excluded in the same privileges and opportunities that their white counterparts enjoy.
